My husband loves this product. I love not having to get this on my hands when applying it to his back. Some people are very sensitive to the Capzasin. I would recommend trying it in a very small area that will not transfer to any sensitive areas first. For people with a lot of pain this is the ticket. No odor, when you sweat or get it wet it reactivates. You often don’t feel anything, it’s just working deep. It is very hard to get off your skin if you don’t like it. During a golf tournament a friend thought they would have to stop due to back pain. He applied the Capzasin and finished the course asking, “why didn’t I know about this miracle product?”

I have rheumatoid arthritis. This is my favorite topical application for my joint pain. I especially like that there is no odor and that I can apply it without getting it on my hands. (The cream-type really hurts if you get it in your eyes!!!) You just have to put it on and wait a bit for it to start working. When I first used it, I didn’t think anything was happening, so I put more on. Yikes! It is powerful when it gets going.

I’ve used capsaicin cream multiple times for pain on my lower back, and was looking forward to this application so as not to get it on my hands. Unfortunately, it didn’t come out of the bottle as easily as I expected. It’s not a “roll on” or anything like that. It’s more like a stamp applicator making it difficult to spread easily and quickly over a large area. It also didn’t give the same sensation on my skin the cream capsaicin gives. I really couldn’t tell I had use anything.
